Magnum Cebu Pop-up Opens in SM Seaside

It's so vivid in my mind that I still remember the giddiness I felt when I held it in my hand. That first bite was a flavor sensation in my mouth.

A colorful sweet and sour dessert

My first gourmet Magnum bar creation at the new Magnum Cebu Pleasure Store is one for the books. I got to experience how to be a pleasure seeker at this newly-opened pop-up store in SM Seaside.

This is actually my second time to be in a Magnum Cafe. When they were in SM Aura in 2014, I was also able to have my own Magnum bar but with the help from the pleasure crew. But this time around, I was able to go behind the counter and be my own dessert chef.They will officially be open to the public on November 17, 2016.

Six steps to Haven

Making your own Magnum bar is easy peasy. You start with choosing 3 toppings from a selection that is divided into 3 flavor categories, Classic, Special and Experimental.

The classic category would be your choco sprinkles, marshmallows, crushed choco chip cookies or oreos. Examples of Special would be dried mangoes, dried raspberries, or potato chips. And the Experimental options would be dried rose petals, chili flakes, Nerds or sea salt.

18 classic, special and experimental toppings

After choosing your toppings, it will be placed in a Martini shaker and shaken for a few seconds to fully combine the elements.

The next step is either having a Vanilla or Chocolate bar. Once you have your ice cream bar, you get to choose which Belgian chocolate to dip it with. They have Vanilla, Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate.

Choose, Shake and Dip

Once done with the chocolate bath, you now pour the contents of the shaker on both sides of the ice cream bar. Drizzle some more of your fave Belgian chocolate. The final touch is the small choco Magnum button.

Magnum Made For You
It doesn't matter what combination you'll come up with. You can have over a hundred different variations and it still would give you a different kind of ice cream experience. You might not want to eat it immediately since it looks too pretty.
